Where you can train in Midrand.
Enough choice in Midrand to pick on convenience rather than compromise. The gym you pass on the way home gets used; the better one across town gets paid for. Worth being honest with yourself about which is which before you sign anything.

What training in Midrand actually involves.
Where to train in Midrand
Midrand has 9 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.
Closest to the centre you have Virgin Active, Squash centre and Suite Life Centre, the nearest of them about 1.2 km out. Ring before you join and ask what the free-weight area looks like at the hour you would actually be there. A rack you have to queue twenty minutes for at six o'clock is the single most common reason a programme stops getting done.
Virgin Active and Squash centre are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, and often where the off-peak hours are quietest, which matters more to a training habit than the equipment list does.
Getting your conditioning in around Midrand
There is no parkrun close to Midrand, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.
Making it stick in Midrand
The hard part of training in Midrand is not the first fortnight, it is week seven, when the novelty has gone and the weather has turned. What survives that is a programme that already knows which days you train and does not need you to decide anything on the day.
With a smaller choice locally, the programme has to bend to the equipment rather than the other way round. That is a constraint, not a problem: almost every exercise has three substitutes, and the one you can actually do twice a week beats the one you can do occasionally.
They are spread out, from roughly 1.2 km to 7.9 km from the centre, so the nearest is not automatically the right one. Ten minutes further for a floor you can actually train on is usually the better trade.
No national chain shows up in the listings here, so these are independents. That usually means shorter contracts and a better chance the person on the desk knows what a sled is for, and it does mean checking terms one at a time.
